Also the shortest day of the year for daylight in the northern
hemisphere. Probably why a lot of people are easily depressed at
Christmas time unless you live in the southern hemisphere where it's the
longest day.

Today marks the official start of winter. The ancient Romans
celebrated Saturnalia in honor of Saturn who rules the signs of
Capricorn and Aquarius. The planet is also known as the ruler of the
underworld.
The Sun is further officially dead in Western astrology and won't rise
again until Spring on March 21, 2014.
But, as I write this note, the Sun is rising in the sign of
Sagittarius from the east. And, I can see the Moon setting to the
west from my window. So, all is well.
